Stylish hairstyles over 50 at a glance

Bob yes, but as a blunt cut please

For years, one haircut in particular has been in the lead: the bob. Whether as a long bob, short bob or rolled bob – the hairstyle is available in all shapes and hair lengths. For women over 50, the straight-line one is particularly popular Blunt cut recommended. It can be worn in different lengths because its trademark is the straight cut edge. Neither the hair in the front nor the back of the neck is longer, but all the hair is at the same height. The blunt cut is simple, yet timelessly elegant and super modern with a middle parting. The styling is also quite simple: beach waves or straight hair, both versions flatter the hair.

Short, shorter, pixie cut

Short hair is not for everyone. However, it becomes mystically beautiful with the pixie cut. This haircut is characterized by the combination of different hair lengths. Some parts are only a few millimeters long, others up to 10 centimeters. By the way, its name comes from the translation of the English word “pixie” and means “fairy”. A fitting choice of name, as the varied haircut is reminiscent of young and cheeky mythical creatures. Actress Jamie Lee Curtis has been swearing by short, easy-care hair for years and looks stunning with it.

French hair – don’t care

Let’s be honest, we all want a hairstyle that looks good but requires as little care as possible. Especially with stressed hair, less styling is more. This is where French hair, also known as French cut, comes into play. The medium-length hair, which falls slightly in layers to the collarbone, suits everyone. Particularly stylish are slightly outgrown bangs that frame the face as fringed curtain bangs. What’s important, however, is that the French cut should be worn as unstyled as possible in a slightly messy look – if that’s not good news. If you want to look a little younger, you can dye your hair a natural balayage.

Curls like Andie MacDowell

Curls not only add volume to your hair, they also make you look immediately fresh and modern. However, curls don’t mean the classic Hollywood waves, which have a more classic style, but rather a wild mane of curls à la Andie MacDowell. If you have slightly wavy hair, you can achieve great results with the Curly Girl method. The method works as follows:

Regardless of whether you have long curly mane or chin-length hair, the waves look good in almost every version.

Pure elegance: the low-slung braid

Admittedly, the low-slung braid is not a haircut, but a hairstyle that can really be worn at any age. Whether as a chignon or as a low ponytail – if the hair is tied into a braid at the nape of the neck, it looks particularly elegant. It’s not about perfect execution, it’s just important that the hair is parted in the middle and styled backwards in a sleek look. The bun or ponytail at the back of the neck can contrast with the clean front and remain in the messy style.
